Their clash was on a knife edge heading into the third-set tie-break, but Ramos-Vinolas edged that and then swept convincingly through the fourth to soothe frayed Spanish nerves in Marbella.

He won 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2, and Spain could celebrate a victory that few doubted they would achieve this weekend, given Andy Murray's injury-enforced absence from the British ranks.

They secured an unassailable 3-1 lead in the tie, with Britain's point having been won on Friday by Corrie with his stunning comeback win over Roberto Bautista Agut.

Great Britain captain Leon Smith said: "I can't speak highly enough of what Cam's done all weekend and yet again today. People might have thought it was a one-off what he produced on Friday, but he did it again today against another really high quality player."
